is for Epiphany For today try to remember an instance when your brain just clicked and you said, “Ohhhh now I get it!” or perhaps an “Oh! I see it!” That spontaneous moment when the perfect idea or solution to a problem just popped in your head bringing with it a moment of great release and joy. The mystery has been solved. The veil lifted for a moment and all was good. What I love about these moments is the coinciding amnesia that comes with it. You forever “get it” and the way it felt to be so confused and seeking is just gone. It reminds me of those illusions you look at until you see the face or the horse or whatever it is you are supposed to find; once you find them you can never go back. You can never un-find them. For the rest of your life when you see that tree picture you will always see the faces hidden within. My wish for you today is that perhaps you actually have an epiphany during the day, but part of the accepted definition of epiphany has the words “a rare occurrence” in it, so perhaps today won’t be the day…but what if it is? Oh how wonderful. My moments of epiphany typically occur around a problem I’m having or a puzzle that needs solving at work. They finally arrive within the twenty-four hour period that I “gave up” on it. I don’t mean that I’ve given up forever, but I have temporarily admitted defeat and decided to set it aside for awhile and think about something else. It is the grace of Spirit that whispers inside my head and all of a sudden I just know “this will work!” Funny thing about that Spirit that Inspires, it knows when I’m faking. It seems to know when I pretend to “give up” just to see if it will bring me the answer. I truly with all my heart and soul have to walk away and dig into something else. As you begin your day say, “Today I will release my need to know the answers or directions to take. Today I am letting the right answers just appear in my quiet, unassuming mind.”

An epiphany! What a great wish for someone! Wishing the best for someone else is a very noble act and I applaud you for doing so. Glad to have found you, Conlee! My little part of the world just got a little brighter and sunnier as a result. Take care and have a great day....maybe even, an epiphany kind of day! :)

Thank you. Best of luck to you and your husband! That can be quite a blow, so I will keep you in my thoughts! Shower yes! and the piano, what a great way to keep the mind somewhere else to let the ideas flow, for me that is while doing crafty stuff or writing-wish I could play the piano :-)

Love this post, thank you for sharing. Your comment about coinciding amnesia is so true, it reminds me of those very special moments on the path to individuation when your unconscious finally gives up a long-held secret about yourself & from that moment on you never seem quite the same. Irrevocably changed & the better for it.
All the best with the rest of A to Z. Looking forward to following along! x

I write to steady myself, discover myself, and forgive myself. Writing reaches into those places that need love and attention in my inner world in order to balance my outer world. I hope you enjoy.
